    I mean, if you notice that you had and lost 700 millions you have to have a really strong mind to not go crazy. If it was me I think I would go crazy.

      He lost the coins in 2013 or before. The price was then $15 or even lower…

      If he just bought 100 BTC for only $1.5k in 2013, he’d now have 10 million dollars…

      It’s a far cry from this guy’s situation, but I think I had five or six bitcoin back when I was mining in the early days. I cashed out when they were maybe $40-50 each towards a new GPU.

      Sure, I could go nuts thinking about what I would do with the money now, but if I hadn’t sold at that rate, I probably would have sold at $100, or $200, or…

      There’s no way in hell I would have had the discipline to “hodl” to this point, so I just get on with my life.
